And/or: do I need one?

I've recently started using FogBugz for my hobby projects, and I'm very happy with things so far. Having read more about it, especially the evidence-based scheduling, I'd like to start using it for my PhD as well. (Heh; something tells me my supervisors won't be opening tickets for me, though.)

Last night I stumbled onto TimePost, which looks like a tidy app that doesn't do much but could be a real bonus to logging my time in FogBugz effectively. I tried looking around for similar apps but came up a little empty-handed. Are there any other FogBugz clients that you've used and recommend for Mac OS X? Or are you happy with the web interface?

A: 

I don't think there is any other such Mac tool. I've never found the web interface too bad personally.

A: 

I don't know of any native tool, but like Matt I am pretty happy with the web interface.

I'm happy with using the web interface. I've used Fluid to create a custom browser for it, and even gotten some help making a pretty icon.

I remember reading that there was a client in development, and I believe they're still looking for beta testers. See this URL

The official answer is no, there is not a dedicated Mac client, other than Safari :)

There's a command line version that runs on Linux, Windows, and Mac.

There are also plans for an iPhone version although I'm not technically supposed to announce features before they are done or even spec'd so pretend I didn't say that.

The beta of Safari 4 and SSB feature is a pretty good option...

A: 

I found using a Mac browser w/ the screen snapshot and search engine add-on to be very useful. I think what you are saying is that it can be hard to edit your timesheets, but that is part of the web design.

We recently released a new Fogbugz client software for Mac, maybe you are interested to give it a try, http://lithoglyph.com/ladybugz/
